Article Synopsis
- The study assessed particulate pollution and nicotine levels in six vape shops and their neighboring businesses in Southern California from February 2017 to October 2019.
- Vape shops showed significantly higher levels of particle number concentration (PNC) and particulate matter (PM) compared to nearby businesses and outdoor areas, with a strong correlation between the air quality in the vape shops and their neighbors, especially when doors were closed.
- Nicotine was detected in both environments, and the study found that factors like vaping density and air exchange rates influenced pollutant levels, highlighting concerns about the impact of e-cig usage on local air quality.
